Channel Eye telecasts Rugby World Cup

Channel Eye Sri Lanka's premier Sports broadcaster has begun broadcasting the Rugby World Cup 2011 via Neo Sports on a link obtained from PEO TV according to reports. Usually local channels telecast the Rugby World Cup from the knockout stages and this is the first time that the matches played in the round robin stage are also being telecast by a local channel.

This is indeed good news for local Rugby enthusiasts with no pay television access. However due to Channel Eye telecasting the Australian tour of Sri Lanka during the Third Test match, Rugby enthusiasts may experience an interruption to the rugby action so we believe that Channel Eye should move the matches to Rupavahini or share rights with CSN who can telecast the matches that Channel Eye is unable to.
